Journey, a UK-based hospitality technology provider and market leader in hotel retailing, has announced its expansion into Ireland with the appointment of a dedicated in-market team, strengthening support for Irish luxury and independent hotels according to a 10 Minutes News for Hoteliers report.

The Ireland team brings complementary expertise across hospitality operations, digital performance and technology. It is led by Khristina Quigley, Head of Payments and Partnerships Director, who brings senior experience in hotel revenue and payments, having held global technology roles at Planet alongside operational revenue positions in Ireland and the UK.

She is supported by Shannon Gallagher, Business Development Manager, who brings operator-side digital and commercial leadership from senior marketing roles at The K Club and across CLIFF's portfolio of luxury hotels, and Paulina Malik, Business Development Manager, who combines more than a decade of on-property hospitality experience with deep expertise in digital distribution and hotel account management from her time at Bookassist.

Simon Bullingham, CEO of Journey, stated that Ireland has a strong independent hotel sector with a clear focus on guest experience. "As the market evolves, hotels are looking for smarter ways to grow revenue beyond rooms whilst protecting brand equity and direct relationships. Building a dedicated team in Ireland is a clear statement of our long-term commitment to the market," he said.

Journey's Performance Platform enables hotels to retail the entire guest experience through a single booking journey, allowing guests to curate their whole stay in one transaction, from restaurant tables and spa access to yoga classes and bike hire, delivering hotels a measurable Return on Experience.
